Global Agricultural Surfactants Market 2018-2022 with Key Players DowDuPont, BASF, AkzoNobel, Evonik, and Solvay Dominating – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Agricultural
Surfactants Market by Type (Non-ionic, Anionic, Cationic, Amphoteric),
Application (Herbicides, Fungicides), Substrate Type (Synthetic,
Bio-based), Crop Type (Cereals & Grains, Fruits & Vegetables), and
Region – Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

The agricultural surfactants market was valued at USD 1.37 Billion in
2017 and is projected to reach USD 1.88 Billion by 2022, growing at a
CAGR of 6.46%. Due to the growing demand for agrochemicals and the
adoption of precision farming and protected cultivation, the market for
surfactants is expected to grow in the coming years.

The agricultural surfactants market, based on type, has been segmented
into non-ionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric. The non-ionic segment
occupied the largest share in the market as most agricultural
surfactants are non-ionic and are used for general wetting and
spreading. Additionally, non-ionic surfactants are usually sold for
being added to herbicide spray solutions. These surfactants are good
dispersing agents, stable in cold water, and are less toxic to both
plants and animals.

South America is projected to be the fastest-growing market for
agricultural surfactants over the next five years. This can be
attributed to Brazil and Argentina, which are the leading agricultural
producers in the world. North America dominated the market in 2017 due
to the presence of players such as DowDuPont (US), Huntsman Corporation
(US), Helena Chemical (US), and Stepan Company (US).

The global market for agricultural surfactants is dominated by
large-scale players such as DowDuPont (US), BASF (Germany), AkzoNobel
(Netherlands), Evonik (Germany), and Solvay (Belgium). Huntsman
Corporation (US), Nufarm (Australia), Clariant (Switzerland), Helena
Chemical Company (US), Croda International (UK), Stepan Company (US),
and Wilbur-Ellis Company (US) are a few other key market players that
also hold a significant share of the agricultural surfactants market.
